Research – weather forecast – photographic material: Fanourios Zacharioudakis.
Every year many people engage in “artificial divination” and I mean the form of divination done through “prophets”, who predict the future weather conditions by reading various natural signs and it is the only kind divination that has survived and is used by millions of people, and popularly this divination is called “the days”.
Memoirs are an ancient method of weather forecasting and over time have proven to be an important tool for observing weather phenomena.
Based on these, an attempt is made to make a forecast for the rest of the year, as well as the next year.
Dates have many supporters among farmers, ranchers, and in general people who live and work in the countryside, but are not scientifically reliable.
After several correct predictions by the writer of the previous years, he tried for one year more to make some predictions, which will be valid for this year, “God’s willing and favorable time”, of course through ” artistic divination”, not taking into account what. our people say about the prophets “Prophet after Christ… ass”!!
So it may have been raining in many places in Greece for the past few days, maybe even in most of them, but here in Mesara it wasn’t raining and it won’t rain again that easy!
Although we know that the weather is also guided, the Duido Observatory tells us that we will see it during the winter in two forms.
From now until the end of the year, there will be mainly South-West winds, which will bring a lot of water to Mesara, until the end of the year.
There will be some snow in December, around Nikolovarvara, starting from December 3rd.
From the beginning of the year, the winds will be blowing East-North, which will bring snow and water to Mesara!!
There is no snow in the first ten days of January, and it starts to snow on the 11th and 12th of January and ends with heavy snowfall on the 21st of January.
On the 26th of January, it begins to snow hard and non-stop and it continues continuously in February and continues until the middle of March!!
We still have the big snow of the year on the 13th and 14th of February!!
But we have more snow and possibly the biggest of the year, on the 11th to the 13th of March!!
So to verify our people:
“In March cut wood, don’t burn the palukia”!!
All this from the Duido observatory and with the artificial divination method.
However, Aratos tells us, as Aratos tells us, who was dealing with mathematics and astronomy, although he had also written “Phenomenon”, an astronomical and meteorological poem, which caused the admiration of his contemporaries, when it is three or four days. old moon and the edges are as if faded and blurred, this means rain.
If his disc looks red or burnt it means winter.
When the moon is full and appears to have a black spot around it, this is a raindrop.
If there are two or three floors on the moon, they mean a very long winter and the blacker the floors are.
The sun when it rises red and then black means rain.
If, when the sun rises, a dark cloud appears near its rays, it means rain.
If, although the sun is shining, there is a black cloud near the left side, you should expect rain immediately.
From the place where lightning and thunder are made, from there wait for the winter.
And if, sometimes from the north and sometimes from the south, the thunder is heard and the lightning occurs (is seen), a wind blows.
Also, the birds of the lake and the sea food, when they are constantly bathing in the water, make the winter.
The rainbow, if it appears double, means rain.
If sparks come out of the pot (earthen vessel) or copper vessel, it means rain.
And the kouruna, when he wets his head on the beach or when he swims completely and at night screams louder than usual, he describes rain.
And the hens of the house when they often beat in the dust and the cocoon, and the crows and the jackals when they show together and squawk, and the swallows when they fly about the ponds or the cisterns or the rivers and to make noise. rain
The flies when they bite more than usual and the geese when they run screaming for their food and the spiders when they fall down with no wind blowing and the flame of the lamp when it rises black and the flocks of sheep when they dance mean that winter. will come
Cows are rain when they face south and fill their hooves and frolic in the mangers.
And the wolf too when it is decided and presented in inhabited places and it is clear to the dogs when they dig the earth and the jackal when it is dawn that it will be winter .
And the dogs, when they flee to the sea, shows the winter.
The cranes, when they come faster than usual, mean that it will soon be winter.
And mice, when they are heard to cry, mean winter.
When the moon is three or four days old and looks thin and clear, it means summer.
Also the full moon, when it looks clear, means summer.
And in the middle of the lunar month, if the moon appears clear, it is a summer harbinger again.
If the moon looks redder than usual, it means wind.
And if any part of the moon looks blackened, it means rain.
The sun when it becomes clear means summer.
If a few clouds appear before sunrise, it will also be good weather.
If as the sun rules, there are clouds scattered around it, it means rain.
If the sun rules clear without clouds, it means summer for the next day as well.
If the sun rules cloudless and clouds are seen near it that are redder than usual, it will not rain that night or the next day.
Reddish clouds, scattered over western parts, medium shower.
A fountain also means the owl when it sounds continuously at night and the crow when it calls quietly during the day and the crows when they are many together as if they are laughing and calling.
When more points are seen at the same time, what we predict is more certain.
We must pay particular attention to the fourth day after fullness and before the loss of the moon, because the weather changes on these days.
